Note

This is mostly an English blog, but every now and then I’ll post something in Dutch.
The English and Dutch posts are all neatly separated though. So you can click on the pages ‘over’, ‘boekrecensies’ & ‘schrijfsels’ for Dutch writings and on all other pages for English writings.
The homepage contains the most recent posts, so that’s a mixed page.
Take a look at ‘over’ or ‘about’ for more info about me and my blog.
